Double height ceilings are a fantastic feature for any modern home: they allow to get large windows and lots of natural light inside connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces and letting you enjoy the views. But how to decorate those double-height walls that you get? Here are some ideas to fill them in with style.
Windows
The most popular solution is windows as they bring a lot of natural light and decorative value turning your room into a very appealing space that welcomes. If you already have double-height windows, just style them with some cool drapes or nothing at all – it depends on the style you have and the amount of light you get. If you have usual windows and double-height ceilings, just add another row of windows on top of those that you have or a large clerestory window, for example, and the effect will be no worse than with double-height ones.

Accent Walls
An accent wall is another great solution for a tall wall, and it can be done in various ways – with color, for example, paint, with prints, for example, wallpaper, or with some texture, which means covering the whole wall with stone, wood, metal or anything else that you like. Such an accent wall may also feature a large scale artwork.

Gallery Walls
A floor to ceiling gallery wall is a fantastic solution that will instantly add decorative value to the room and as the wall is tall, the space will look like an art-filled one. Turn on your imagination and create a fantastic floor to ceiling gallery wall that will tell some story. Another idea is attaching ledges to the wall and creating a gallery wall on them (maybe be not a floor to ceiling one), so you will be able to change the artwork whenever you want.
